How Are Ordnance Survey Maps Measured (For Garden)

[buffymad]

My saga is still ongoing for anyone who's read my posts before!

Am still in middle of selling my house but found out my garden wasn't registered. We applied to register it (possessory title) and the Land Registry sent out someone to look at the garden, take measurements, photos etc as one of my next door neighbours seemed to have registered some of my garden within the title to his garden.

A new plan has been issued. Basically the house doesn't line up with the boundary lines shown - next door neighbour to the left "has" some of our garden (the hedge I presume) but we "have" some of neighbour to the right's garden - if that makes sense!

And basically I'm just wondering how the survey man might have come to his conclusion - ie what did he look at, what did he measure etc?

To be honest, as long as the garden is registered and the new owner can see the garden is exactly what he's getting, then I'm not really bothered - just curious though!!
